Unceasingly whittled down by the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, Qing Shuzi's trio began to feel dizzy as well.
They even vaguely felt that their cultivation bases were falling further!
While they persisted solely through sheer willpower, they were already nearing their limits.
Now, the annoying black fog of nether wind before them suddenly grew faint.
They were overjoyed as they hurriedly continued charging forward, finally shooting past the dense fog before them in a single stroke.
The scene that appeared before their eyes now was that of a white-clothed youth wearing a black-bordered blue robe seated on the surface of that great dark yellow river.
It was precisely Yan Zhaoge.
Not only was Yan Zhaoge not flustered, he instead appeared rather interested as his figure bobbed along with the river water in a natural yet relaxed manner.
His gaze fell on Qing Shuzi, appraising his robe and his appearance before he smiled, "The head disciple of the Heaven Emperor's lineage, Daoist Qing Shuzi? I can tell that you seem to possess the true legacy of the Heaven Emperor. "
As he said thus, Yan Zhaoge stood up, instead walking towards Wutong Slope's Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel.
"This Yan would like to witness the true legacy of the Heaven Emperor. Please enlighten me, Daoist."
Hearing his words, the expressions of Zhang Shuren, Peng He and Qing Shuzi all changed.
Yan Zhaoge's words clearly meant that they had been able to make it here not because of their abilities but because Yan Zhaoge wanted to witness the legacy of the Heaven Emperor. Therefore, he had intentionally let them in.
You can only come in if I let you in.
"Arrogant brat, going too far!" Peng He was greatly enraged as he raised a sabre, chopping towards Yan Zhaoge first!
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge did not mind as he just smiled, "While you appear rash on the surface, you are actually slippery and scheming within."
While Peng He and the other two late Immortal Bridge experts were all here now, their cultivation bases had all been whittled down by this sinister Nine Bends Yellow River Formation as they had long since been unable to regain their peak states.
However confident Peng He was in having Qing Shuzi fight Yan Zhaoge one-on-one now, he still felt that he would not be able to do so.
Yuan Xiancheng and the others were all waiting there. Whether they won or lost, as time dragged on, it would be hard for them to save Yan Zhaoge.
Peng He could no longer be bothered about whether Qing Shuzi wanted face now as he only wished to attack together and end the battle as quickly as possible, besieging and finishing off Yan Zhaoge.
In making a move first, he was actually inviting Qing Shuzi and Zhang Shuren to attack together.
"Quick!" As Peng He shouted, he didn't hold back at all and used his full strength in the first move.
A long saber appeared in his hand, the blade of the saber overflowing with blue light.
The blazing dim blue blazing fire now transformed into a blue fiery phoenix, spreading its wings as it flew towards Yan Zhaoge.
As the Fire Phoenix approached, its body suddenly split apart. Red and blue saber lights intertwined, splitting heaven and earth.
Half of the reason why Peng He was given the title of 'Blazing King' was because of this top-grade Holy Artifact saber in his hands.
Using the Dark Brilliance Black Flame Rock as the main material, fusing many different types of spirit flames and treasures, this Black Flame Saber was finally forged.
The treasured saber could emit the dark blue flames of the Netherworld Brilliant Black Flame, and its power was even greater than all kinds of spiritual flames.
Peng He had racked his brains to collect saber techniques from all over the world, incorporating what he had learned from Wutong Slope, and finally created a set of King Blazing Saber.
It was different from Zhang Shuren's self-created Divine Wutong Palm, which combined both offense and defense. When fully focused on defense, it was even more extraordinary. It could be said to be the number one defensive secret art of Wutong Slope.
Peng He's King Blazing Saber was clearly heavy on offense and light on defence. Amongst the martial arts of Wutong Slope which had always been stronger in defence, it had a completely new look to it.
Ever since his youth, Peng He himself had been rather unique amongst the martial practitioners of Wutong Slope.
While he cultivated in the true intent of the four Virtues, he cultivated in the Phoenix True Form Scripture, focusing more on the descent of a fiery phoenix, blazing flames incinerating the heavens.
Now, he held nothing back as he attacked with all his might.
The Black Flame Saber and the Blazing King Saber complemented each other, increasing their power.
"There is something that you have forgotten. Let me remind you of." Yan Zhaoge instead smiled very casually, "Within this formation of mine, you have long since ceased to be a ninth level Martial Saint."
Now, a dark green bamboo cane appeared in Yan Zhaoge's hand, striking towards Peng He's Black Flame Saber.
Substituting sword with cane, a Slaying Azure Dragon, a mournful sword-glow slaying dragons and slaying phoenixes.
Now, however, a pair of palms reached over from the side. As the palms moved, they seemed to be sealed at the same time as they blocked Yan Zhaoge's sword for Peng He.
It was none other than Wutong Slope's other ninth level Martial Saint bigwig, Zhang Shuren.
He cooperated with Peng He, one attacking and the other defending as they were extremely well-coordinated.
Yan Zhaoge was unconcerned as he retracted his sword and switched to a palm, exchanging blows with Zhang Shuren as he spun, his sword still pointing towards Peng He.
Already knowing the uniqueness of Yan Zhaoge's dark green bamboo cane, Peng He could only change his stance upon seeing this.
"Don't stand on ceremony, Daoist. Clashing within my grand formation is not a fair competition in the first place," Yan Zhaoge called out to Qing Shuzi even as he clashed with Peng He and Zhang Shuren.
Peng He and the others were extremely shocked as they looked at Yan Zhaoge.
It was indeed not easy for Yan Zhaoge to control this Nine Bends Yellow River Formation now.
Still, it was completely different from what his opponents had guessed earlier.
As Yan Zhaoge clashed with Peng He and the others at this moment, the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation was still circulating unceasingly.
While those gusts of chilly wind and dense black fog were not as fierce as before, they still corroded the bones and wounded the soul, bewitching one's mind as their acupoints were clogged and their souls sluggish.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge was completely unrestrained in his attacks as he moved with ease.
Peng He and Zhang Shuren had both had their cultivation bases suppressed and whittled down by the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. Now that they had joined forces, they were still being pushed back repeatedly by Yan Zhaoge.
Seeing this from the side, Qing Shuzi knit his brows tightly.
Looking at his junior apprentice-brother Daoist Leading Mist who was seated in the meditative position atop the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, he finally shook his head and flew up as well.
He flicked his sleeve, striking straight towards Yan Zhaoge with a momentum that actually seemed even stronger than that of Peng He's Blazing King Sabre!
"Good move." As Yan Zhaoge's cane struck down on Peng He's Blazing Flame Sabre, sparks instantly splattering everywhere as its dim blue colour dimmed.
Then, with the Yin Yang Finger, Peng He's sabre was directed towards Zhang Shuren's Wutong Divine Palm.
After sending a pair of senior apprentice-brothers of Phoenix Ritual Mountain off to spar, Yan Zhaoge did not cease as he sent a palm towards Qing Shuzi.
This palm of his simultaneously contained the profundities of the Cyclic Heavenly Seal and the Taiji Yin Yang Palm.
Whether this Primordial Heaven Flying Sleeve of Qing Shuzi was tough or soft, Yan Zhaoge would forcibly receive it head-on!
Qing Shuzi's sleeve resembled the edge of a sabre as it hacked down on Yan Zhaoge's palm.
Yan Zhaoge circulated the power of the Five Elements Deific Immortal Body, his body resembling Vajra as he caught the sabre barehanded, forcibly grabbing at Qing Shuzi's sleeve.
"Withdraw!" Qing Shuzi's gaze flickered as he suddenly changed his stance.
Inside his sleeve, time and space suddenly became blurry, and a myriad of colors and scenes appeared.
At this moment, Qing Shuzi seemed to have opened a spatial passageway within his sleeve that led to the chaotic flows of space outside of the World beyond Worlds!
Space distorted as it rotated, forming an immense suction force that sought to devour Yan Zhaoge entirely within!
Heaven Earth Within Sleeve!
It was precisely the direct lineage martial art of the Primordial Suppressing Immortal who had lived alongside the world that year!
Heaven and earth rotated within the sleeve, with each layer being yet another heavenly layer.
Let alone those whose cultivation bases were lower than his, even opponents who were on par with him would be able to rein in this move if they were not careful!
As soon as Qing Shuzi executed this move, even the expressions of Peng He and Zhang Shuren changed.
Why was there a Primordial Heaven Flying Sleeve?
That was actually a weakened and derivative version of the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve.
This was because the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve was just too difficult to cultivate in. It was rumoured that even the Heaven Emperor had only managed to successfully cultivate it in the Human Immortal realm that year.
As his companions, Peng He and Zhang Shuren had never thought that Qing Shuzi would actually know this move!
